We thought about titling this session, "Stop Giving Them The Answer: Let Them Figure It Out Themselves!," but thought that sounded a little too edgy. Experience a strategy-building session on how to foster student-owned learning in the classroom (and live!). Don't expect one-size-fits-all answers - just questions, strategies, possibilities, examples, and maybe a few awkward (reflective) silences...
Tasks:
Objectives:
Join us as we explore ways to:

Challenge learners to mine mistakes, wrong turns and “failures” for the richer learning opportunities embedded within
